Hey, we've all been there. Passwords are supposed to be difficult! Whether it’s time to set up a new password or you forget your old one, this guide will help you with navigating all things password-related.
What this article covers:
Password Requirements
When making your password for your Discord account, it must be a minimum of 8 characters. We will not accept passwords that are less than 8 characters.
Be sure to use a secure password that you don't use anywhere else. Longer passwords are usually more secure than passwords with more symbols, numbers, or cases of letters. Using a password manager is a great way to generate, secure, and use strong passwords for each site you log in to.
Depending on your region, additional password requirements may apply.
